Hi Arjen: 2.6.3 is probably too old. According to http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/, 2.8.11 is the current stable release, but at www.wxwidgets.org they say the following: "2.9 series bring many improvements compared to 2.8 series and, in spite of being called a development release, we believe that 2.9.1 can be used in production environment, especially for the new projects for which (small) changes in behaviour since 2.8 are not a problem. Give it a try and let us know what do you think!" Debian testing has binary packages for 2.8.10 which at least allows our wxwidgets device to build and work without major errors (segfaults, etc.) for me, but if I were building wxwidgets from scratch I would be tempted to try 2.9.1 first to see if that worked before falling back (if necessary) to a build of 2.8.11. I hope one of those works well for you. Good luck! Alan __________________________ Alan W.
